I absolultely love this book and think it's perfect for adults or children over 6. Timeless themes of perseverence, wisdom, love and courage. Parvati is born to be Shiva's wife and eternal lover. She comes into the world with this knowledge. When she grows up, she is eager to be joined with her love, but Shiva isn't interested. In fact, he is almost rather annoyed by her because he is focused on his spiritual path and meditation. Parvati undergoes great pain and testing to finally be united with her beloved and it is a powerful tale of patience and dedication that anyone can benefit from reading. The artwork is beautiful as well, you will be glad you got this book!
